I love having an Austin address, not being incorporated, and not having an HOA. The county doesn't give a flying fck what I build; I don't even have to pull permits

absolutely.

my pops biggest regret with the garage he built was the ceiling isnt tall enough for an suv on a lift and most big lifts we would have to cut the ceiling lol

might bulldoze the current one, extend my property since its the woods but still have about 30ft i can go back, then build a 3-4 car one back there and not have a 90 degree turn to head into the garage which i currently have to do.

maybe do the back 2 bays straight in and do an angle to the 3rd.4th bays on the left just to make it nice to look at. plus the middle angle would give some bonus space between them.
You could always bring JC in to consult...

Same. It is nice having a bank job that is mandated by the feds. If my job ever goes, I figure there will be much larger issues afoot than unemployment.

I've looked at just replacing 3-4 joists with a high cathedral type. would keep same roofline ect but a car would be able to go max height. Decided I dont want to buy an suv ever and will save myself the trouble and money. I have a load of space under the Z right now with the ceiling height as is.

My wife and I fantasize about our “dream house”. It would be about the size of the current one but with a bigger kitchen, single story bc getting older etc, and it would have two two car garages attached and a 3 car detached behind the house with extra high doors and ceiling plus extra space for storage etc.

Then we come back to reality. Would need to win the lottery. This place is just fine.

That’s a damn good idea, our garage has an attic, we could in theory one day do something like that. Just need to find out if the concrete slab can handle the 4 post lift...

Besides, modding your gtr, no r8 is gonna match that car $$ for $$. The gtr is the supercar for the Everyman and maintenance etc is cheap compared to just about anything else at that performance level, Porsche, Lamborghini, mclaren, etc.

Is that why they call the GTR in the car world...Gorilla? ...ops I mean Godzilla!

Yes for JDM’s everyday!!

You see short people are fast ...Spoiler!

Note: pls dont call me racist I will kick you in the nuts like Bruce Lee!
